Jen Psaki

And what did you think of the decision?

Because a number of Democratic governors did attend.

What did you think about that?

it's also how you spend your time.

There's nothing more valuable than your time when you're running a state or you're running a country.

I want to shift to another topic that's really been dominating, one of the topics that's been dominating the news lately, and that's all of the fallout from revelations out of the Epstein files.

And your cousin Thomas Pritzker, of course, recently stepped down as the executive chairman of Hyatt Hotels after his affiliation with Epstein was revealed in new documents.

He said he regrets associating with him.

But what was your reaction when you learned about those details and his name in several occasions in the files?

That's why I asked you, because just because you share a last name, it doesn't mean that, you know, what you're saying is if I think if Congress were to want to ask him more questions, you're not going to try to stand in the way of that.

There's a process that's pursuing anybody who's mentioned and anybody who they see they want to ask more questions of.

Right.

One of the people who—and people have been very frustrated, to your point, with the lack of accountability in this country.

I'm sure you've heard it from people, and you hear about all sorts of issues.

But, I mean, Trump's Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, has admitted to lying about his relationship with Epstein.

He denies any wrongdoing.

But there he was today standing directly behind Trump during his press conference meltdown after kind of admitting last week that he had actually lied about his association and how long he'd been talking to Epstein.

What do you think still needs to happen?

And what is your message to those who are really frustrated out there with the lack of accountability?

No question about it.
